The Toys Outside of the Tub

I couldn't have been more confused when I put the kids in the bath and literally emptied a bag full of bath toys in the middle of all of them. Our 4-year old took a few and played with them on one side of the bath. Our 2-year old took a few and played with them on her side of the bath. Our 1-year old was left in the middle with a pile of the remaining toys floating around her. Yet she could not take her eyes off of the baby soap bottles sitting outside the tub. So much more desirable were those soap bottles than the toys around her that she crawled to the side of the bath, pulled herself up into a standing position, and stretched out to get them from me. This is one of those moments when I think, "What's the point of toys? All they ever want is what you have." Well, you know what they say, the toys are always better on the outside of the tub.
